Great video , nicely done ! I'm just starting mine , still in parts gathering mode but I've got most of what I need . I don't mind the fiddling involved because it's " kinda half the fun " for me anyways . Ernst
 
Great video. It will be interesting to see what happens with the price of these rifles in the next year or two!

Stoked that i got my CanAm shorty when i did!
 
good vid

glad i got a shorty when i did... very nice rifle for the money

was on the fence bout a fiberglass stock... after seeing the vid, i think i'll get one forsure


thanks
 
Solid video sir!, and I wholeheartedly agree with you opinions using the excellent iron sights, they are excellent sights! I too had an issue with the front sight, but all you really need is an alan key to loosen the screw a little bit, then move the sight in which ever direction you need, tighten it back up and try again, it didnt take me too long to get it sorted out, my groups at 100 have gotten a lot better, after adjusting the sights, the groups are almost as good at 50 yards as at 100 yards, now to work on 200 and 300 yards.
 
Great video Rifle,...I agree 100% with everything mentioned. They were built to put you in behind those aperture sight properly and you won't find a sweeter in this config, except perhaps he No4 with the Mk 1 sight. I'm 53, no glasses yet and my will be fired that way until no prescription would allow me to see the sights. It's probably time then to move onto something else, maybe a halographic on my AR or something for CQB. Some may think we older shooters still toot our own horn about shooting irons, and I'm actually not all that good. I know the drill, just finding it harder to perform.

What I love to toot is I just think so many young shooters are missing the absolute satisfaction of firing a rifle accurately over irons at distance.. Leave the optics on "everything you own",.. till when you need them. I know if you want to compete and everyone has optics, i.e. Service Conditions,.. then you'll have to follow suit,.. Just try and shoot at least one rifle over irons accurately and you will have the greatest satisfaction you can get with a rifle. Even at least use your SKS for god sakes!


I've never bedded my stock, but upgrades otherwise are similar to yours. Once I eliminated myself putting windage into my groups by poor strong hand control of the stock/trigger, it settled down to groups that are somewhat narrow horizontally and strung a little more vertically, as yours appear to be.

Considering the original intended use of this rifle, I personally would prefer a little vertical stringing as opposed to just a smaller overall MOA measured circular type groups that are wider on the horizontal. Just look at the B-27 scoring rings and you'll see why a little vertical is okay with a battle rifle LOL.
 
They were $750 in 2004 I bought one [ Milarms ] and very good quality as to say I never see 04s for sale hopefully they don't go back to old pricing. I have now a 2009 also Polly on mine the whole flash hider/site is out went to a M1A muzzle break and NM .062 front site & a NM rear .595 hooded all strait now.
